Good analysis. IMO, Wolf just stands there the whole show except his “big” RWTD intro where he moves to the drum riser for 10 seconds. Eddie makes LOTS of eye contact with Dave and Al but doesn’t move around much. Al is playing the drums and smiling a lot, but what else can he do?

People make fun of Dave for his constant costume changes, dancing, strutting, high-kicking and endless raps, BUT he’s the one “performing” for the audience and giving the fans a “show.” I think he’s giving his all to entertain, engage and rock the crowd while the triplets expertly play the monster songs we came to hear. I guess it’s easy to pick on Dave with his slip n’ slide flooring and jazz hands, but I don’t see it that way. He’s FRONTING a rock band and working hard at it. He’ll never be a stand-at-the-mic performer.

And at risk of sounding like a broken record, I’ll stress again that YouTube is NOT a great way to judge a rock show. Dave, especially, does not always translate well to YouTube. The reality is there is nothing like being there, and having been to a show (while sober!) I can attest they ALL sound great this tour.
